2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid Parts Marking Submission Under FMVTPS

The Hyundai-Kia America Technical Center submitted parts marking location data for the 2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid under 49 C.F.R. Part 541 requirements. This submission provides VIN position information and cover letter documentation required under the Federal Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard. Affected vehicle manufacturers already operating under Part 541 should maintain awareness of model-year submissions from peer manufacturers as reference for compliance expectations.

Manufacturers of high-theft vehicles subject to parts marking requirements should ensure their annual submissions remain current for all covered model years. Compliance teams can use NHTSA's public docket to review peer submissions for comparison purposes.
